Todavía como dato interesante verídico, pero no muy conocido. Cuando los Beatles arribaron a Norteamérica invitados por Ed Sullivan. Les preguntó si tenían un conjunto norteamericano que fuera de su gusto. Contestaron: Nilsson.

Y cuando volvió a preguntarles sobre algún cantante en particular que les gustara. Contestaron a su vez: Nilsson.

Después terminaron siendo muy amigos.

Yes, I'd heard that! Harry Nilsson was supposedly John Lennon's favorite American singer. I can't blame him! He was wonderful. There are a lot of videos showing Nilsson having fun with the Beatles.

Como dicen al final los comentarios que vienen en el album, -el que fue especialmente hecho en homenaje a sus autores, y sus letras con increíble contenido, de varias e inolvidables melodías que han servido de fondo para algunas cintas actuales hollywoodenses-. "Debido a que los tiempos por los que estamos pasando son cruentos y difíciles, es bueno tener grabadas -para oirlas de vez en cuando- estas piezas, con ese dulce 'toque' especial y melancólico de Schmilsson en la noche". Gracias Harry

I agree. These songs are excellent for calming me down at the end of the day. I don't have the CD, so I can't compare to the liner notes, but I assume that's where you got the quote. Thanks for the comment!

i'm a 'Johnny Come Lately' in regards to this great talent. I have the recent documentary to thank for awakening me to these great songs. I grew up loving his music from Robert Altman's "Popeye" unaware that it was his. We rarely make artists of his caliber anymore. He was a pure, born talent. i'ma go put a lime in a coconut now.

Harry just finishes the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Gordon says to him,"I do believe". Ahh Geniuses at Work.

Ah, when we could still smoke and talent was talent.........

I've loved this album (and many other Harry Nilsson albums) but this one is timeless. Thank you for posting this. It is so wonderful to see him singing these songs. What a talent.

For a while after discovering Nilsson, I couldn't pick up an instrument or sing a song without negatively comparing myself to his awesome talent. Now I strive to tap into the man's genius in all music I make. I simply ask, WWHD?

Thanks for posting. And Harry, thanks for existing.

So very fine, "You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is still a sigh, as time goes by" love that song. Thank you for this, love Nilsson, finally got around to buying his best of CD and am so impressed with it.
